There are 5 weeks left within the NFL common season. Meaning I’ve 5 weeks to show issues round with my picks. Over the course of the previous seven weeks, I’ve gone rotten like a hard-boiled egg left within the fridge for 4 months.
It stinks. So do I.
I can not get something going with my picks. That is by far the worst season I’ve had, so do with these picks what you’ll.
I went 7-9 towards the unfold and 12-3 straight-up in Week 13. That brings my ATS season file to 87-105-3 and my straight-up file to 120-75-0. The latter is stable, however the ATS mark is putrid.

Can it occur? Sure. Will it occur? In all probability not, however I did change some issues up this week. Let’s hope it really works.
